The release came after Seferian-Jenkins was arrested earlier in the day on DUI charges.

The same day, Seferian-Jenkins sent a Tweet that read “Thank you TB! Next chapter.”

Tampa Bay General Manager Jason Licht said: “We are very disappointed by today’s news. After careful consideration, we felt this was the right decision at this time.”

Seferian-Jenkins was pulled over by a Florida Highway Patrol Trooper just after 4 a.m. on Friday, September 23.

Authorities reported that the football player had been stopped after he entered southbound I-275 near SR-60. Reportedly, he was traveling at speeds of 75-80 miles per hour where the speed limit is 55 m.p.h.

A trooper named Tabarie Sullivan said that Seferian-Jenkins made an improper lane change, which cut him off. He then weaved back and forth between lanes.

Seferian-Jenkins was charged with misdemeanor DUI and was booked into Hillsborough County Jail. He refused a breathalyzer test at the jail.

If the current DUI charges were not enough, Seferian-Jenkins is also in trouble due to violating a court-ordered Ignition Interlock Device restriction. The restriction was put into place while Seferian-Jenkins was at the University of Washington and he was convicted of DUI. The first DUI occurred in 2013.

Seferian-Jenkins was a 2nd Round Draft Pick for the Buccaneers in 2014.
